Spring Into Action: Addressing Stucco Issues in Your Home
As we will soon shake off the chill of Winter and welcome Spring, in Philadelphia, it’s crucial to address a pressing issue that many homeowners in Fishtown, Fairmount, South Philly, and Kensington may overlook: the potential dangers lurking behind that stucco on the facade of your home. With all the rain, sleet, and snow we’ve endured, the time to be vigilant is now.
The Hidden Threats of Winter Weather…
This winter has been relentless, and the impact on your home’s stucco could be severe. As water seeps in and temperatures fluctuate, it can lead to serious issues that no homeowner should ignore.
Be on the lookout for:
Black Mold: Wet spots that don’t dry or bulging bubbles in your ceiling or walls are more than just eyesores – these could be hiding a health hazard – MOLD. Mold thrives in damp conditions, and if moisture gets trapped behind your stucco, it can lead to respiratory issues for you and your family.
Shadows Around Windows/Ceilings: Dark spots forming around your windows or ceilings might be the first signs of a much larger problem. These can be brown or other discoloration, you could be seeing cracking around some of your caulk. Do NOT let these go unchecked.
Why Stucco Fails: Faulty stucco can come from a mix of things, like shoddy installation or sealing, the crazy heat and freezing temps making wood frames expand and contract, and just plain construction blunders that throw everything off.
Don’t Ignore the Signs
You might think your new construction home is safe, but stucco is often used by builders to cut costs on the rear facade. Unfortunately, this can lead to hidden problems that manifest long after the builders have left. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to extensive damage and significant repair costs.
